Peak oil is a myth

[–] • 1 pt

Yup even if hydrocarbons ran out(they fucking wont), we can use nuclear power to make more.

[–] • 1 pt

Peak oil is just another environmental made up pile of shit that nobody with a brain believes is true. Like all the rest of the made up leftest crap this one begins with the bullship proposition that oil comes from decaying plant and animal material. They really believe they can convince thinking human beings that the billions of barrels of oil existing in this planet originiated from plants and animals. One question - why are Russians drilling and finding oil 10000 feet into the earth?

There is no peak oil. Oil doesn't come from dinosaur era plants. It's another con like global warming. Oil is abiotic.

The Russians found that new oil was being made from the magma heating the basement rocks of the Earth’s crust. As the rocks are heated methane gas is distilled. This combines with carbonates and carbon 14 that occur naturally in rock, when these are mixed together, they form oil.

It’s called Abiotc (non biological) because it does not come from vegetable matter.

Oil is a soup of hydrocarbons. Hydro, as in hydrogen, literally the most abundant element, and carbon, literally every rock. Heat and pressure makes hydro carbons.

Thanks for that. Led me down a rabbit hole that I hadn’t known much about

Honestly, shift a lot of the things we use plastic for today to renewables. It's disgusting that glass, a product that's 100% recyclable, and has been with us for centuries has lost ground to plastic.

Everything liquid should come in glass containers from milk and orange juice to paints, liquid fertilizer, and engine oil. Add some bottle/jar standards to eliminate branded containers and most glass jars could take a trip through an autoclave and be as resold good as new.

Anything amorphous should probably also come in glass. Ketchup, mustard, peanut butter, jelly, car wax, shave cream, lotion, toothpaste, grease.

We could legitimately create a ton of new jobs by doing what we did in the 1950s - have people collect empty bottles (from homes or drop-off locations) to take back to a sorting/cleaning facility where they would be sold back to the vendors, or crushed and sold back to the bottle manufacturer.

Also, rolling out the deposit system nationwide on all glass and aluminum could encourage participation, it sucks living in a state with no refund.

🤣 Try living in one with one! Surprise! It's just another tax without representation!

Plastic is made from waste oil. Either we turn it to plastic or it goes into a landfill.

Plastic is lighter and doesn't shatter into sharp pieces. Far superior to glass

I like the idea but you see all the plastic people throws in the street, imagine if there was broken glass all over the place instead

[–] [deleted] • 1 pt

I'm old..... there was never a problem with glass in the streets, for 2 reasons: The deposit required for bottles made them more valuable to turn in, and city cleaning, combined with people not wanting to live in glass, keeps the streets pretty clean.

Higher deposit, that's a good idea

Nothing, peak oil isn't real.

The what? Abiotic oil gang.

A unproven, hotly contested theory

A thoroughly (((debunked))) theory.

I wonder if oil can be created in different ways? Maybe there isn't just one.

"Peak Oil" is as much a myth as "man-made global warming" and carbon dioxide as a pollution. It's all lies from the globalist, liberal left. We are not running out of oil. We were never running out of oil.

what about billions of citizens in emerging countries becoming industrialized, thus increasing oil demand ?

[–] • 0 pt

Was there ever a time when it was not "proportional"?

'Peak oil' is a canard. The Dakotas alone have enough oil for 50 years of US needs. By then we will have energy sources we haven't even dreamed of yet.

[–] [deleted] • 0 pt

We need cheap energy, not necessarily oil. Without oil there is still nuclear power and other fossil fuels like natural gas and coal.

Oil is the best. Green. Solar Renewable Energy dense Easily stored Transportable

The elixer of life. Want to kill billions of people? Cut off oil

[–] [deleted] • 0 pt

Oil is depleting at a slow enough rate that its price will keep going up. As the price goes up it will be used less and less to power cars and more and more for things that can't be produced through other means, or are more expensive to produce through other means (who knows, like plastics, and lubricants). It's only a disaster if oil is cut off very quickly, like if we are relying on foreign oil and suddenly we are no longer receiving it.

Up till recently price of oil was way down

Massively down when accounting for inflation.

How did you factor that in to your conclusion or did you just ignore the results of fracking and oil shales on the oil industry?

[–] • 0 pt

Just do you know. Just so that you can't say that you weren't warned.

There is no alternative to oil. None.

We can't make food without it. No oil. No food. Your food is produced by oil and there is nothing. Not even on the horizon. That can change that fact.

No oil. Earth population goes back to pre industrialization size. Brutally.

Hydrogen fuel can be used in ICE engines, they just need to be set up because Hydrogen is far more energy dense than petroleum. So it takes a lot less fuel to get the same amount of power with Hydrogen. Everything besides Hydrogen is a lie and a scam designed to make people get rich off of green retards, like Solyndra.

I have heard that combusting hydrogen releases nitrous oxide, which poke holes in ozone layer
